Base game

You land wins on 25 fixed paylines, and base game wins are frequent at about once every 2.62 spins. As the official description says, reels filled with money symbols are the signature of this game. Line wins and money symbol collection happen at the same time.

Money symbols and collect symbols

When a collect symbol appears, it gathers the money symbol values on screen. Effects that raise, multiply, or expand money symbol values, or grant a respin, can be attached to it. Depending on which effect comes along, the same collection can produce very different results.

Free Spins

Free spins trigger about once every 257 spins. Money symbol values build up during the round, and on the final respin you get a chance to receive the money symbol values gathered across the entire round all at once. As the official description says, this final moment is the key to big wins.

Instead of a bonus buy,

This game has no bonus buy or ante bet, so free spins are triggered naturally. It does include a Hyperplay feature instead. Wins over 1,000x come about once in 1.51 million spins, and the max win is 10,500x.

Who it's for

It suits players who like the money collect style and enjoy watching the collection unfold. RTP comes in two versions, 96.50% and 95.50%, and bets range from 0.25 to 250. Among the John Hunter series Pragmatic Play slots, this is the money-symbol-focused entry, so it’s good to compare with the others.
